Rustica Earth Sea and Fire

"They have an earlybird special so when we showed up early to have a cocktail at the bar before our 6pm reservation the seating was already about 40% full but the bar seating was plentiful. I ordered the scallops and risotto which was quite tasty. Chef did a ver different spin on the risotto as it also had beans in it. Others in our party ordered the tempura green bean with spicy garlic sauce and I must say it was excellent, still others ordered the steamed flounder, crab beiginet and rack of lamb both of which were quite tasty. They had a special Valentines day prefixe menu for $55 which included appetizer choices, entre choices and dessert choices. All around a fair price for a 3 course dinner. The desserts were also delish including the yuzu cheesecake with berries sauce, the Panna cotta and the lava cake which was special for valentines day."

"Hands Down 5 Stars! We were greeted warmly by one of the owners, I forgot her name but she was very nice. Came here for the happy hour and we ordered their recommendations. I got the Spicy Margarita and hubby ordered the Lilikoi Martini. Both were very good. They also offer an early dinner pre-fixe 3 course meal for $36 from 4:30 -5:30pm. The menu changes every week, I believe, and was disappointed that the braised short ribs was not included when we visited. We got the following from the pre-fixe: Crispy Lamb Love Letter - this comes with tomatoes and quinoa, 2 of my favorite ingredients and paired with crispy wonton with lamb filling was truly incredible! Great portion too for a starter! Japanese Style Fried Chicken - their version of chicken Karaage was tasty, the sauce is the star of this dish! It was so good and should be bottled and sold by itself! It was fantastic! Sesame Crusted Mahi - another touch of Asian fusion, good portion too. Seared Picanha- The beef was cooked medium rare but still chewy, I did not particularly like the meat but I enjoyed the yakisoba noodles. Yuzu Cheesecake -comes with berry sauce. Smooth and creamy, so yummy! Panna Cotta - OMG! Best ever I have ever tasted! It comes with dragon fruit, pistachios and pomegranate! Just perfect combinations! Very nice interior and it was not too crowded at 5pm on a Friday. I highly recommend trying this place out! There are so many dishes that I want to try and we will definitely be back!"

"Very original and creative appetizers and entrees. You won't see the Sysco truck unloading frozen fries, burgers and onion rings in the back! I would give 5 stars across the board however the atmosphere is very loud when the place is filled up (Saturday night) !! ceiling needs to be foamed and they also need to increase their portion sizes!"

"Saw a post on social media about this place and had to check it out. It didn’t disappoint! Food was delicious! The Braised Short Rib was our favorite and the drinks were on point. Blueberry mojito and this pear drink I had was really good. We went during happy hour which they have Tuesday-Saturday 430-530 and you can get a 3 course meal for $35. Totally worth it! Our server Bridget from Boston was wonderful and the owner was really nice. It’s a great atmosphere, not too big. And the menu is not overwhelming. Definitely recommend. We are coming back!"

"My husband and I were very excited to try Rustica on it's opening date of 11/1 and we went back tonight - we love it! We have tried quite a few items now, and the flavors of every dish are delightful. The scallop risotto was phenomenal, we loved the tempura green beans, and the scallop ravioli is the BEST ravioli I think I've ever had! My husband thinks it should have it's own entree version, because he could eat a whole entire plate of those for his meal! The salmon firecracker wraps were so good. I personally think that this menu is great for snacking and sharing. All of the dishes are smaller, but still great portions. All of the servers and staff are so helpful and kind, the owners are so sweet, and you can really tell they have poured a lot of heart and soul into this fine restaurant. It seems like the menu is still changing a bit and more items and being added and deleted, so we can wait to come back and try more items!"
